Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency MHRA has issued a statement reaffirming the safety of childhood vaccines. The Chief Safety Officer Dr Alison Cave said multiple large studies with millions of children show no evidence that vaccines cause autism. Vaccination remains effective and safe, supported by the NHS and major UK public health bodies. All UK vaccines undergo rigorous assessment and continuous monitoring through surveillance, real‑world data, and international evidence. The MHRA encourages parents to follow NHS guidance and to report suspected side effects via the Yellow Card scheme. If new evidence emerged, MHRA would update guidance. The statement also notes the role of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation.
